RE: Formal Notification of Project Consideration and Notification of Consultation
Opportunity Pursuant to Public Resources Code §21080.3.1 (Assembly Bill 52) and
Government Code §65352.3 (Senate Bill 18) for the Southline Specific Plan
Dear Mr. Cerda,
The City of South San Francisco (City) has received a complete project application for the
Southline Specific Plan (project) and has begun environmental analysis of the project pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This letter has been sent upon the
recommendation of the Native American Heritage Commission to tribes that are culturally and
traditionally affiliated with the area. This letter serves as formal notification under the AB 52
process for the project, pursuant to Public Resources Code §21080.3.1, and the SB 18 process
for the Specific Plan, pursuant to Government Code §65352.3.
Below and on the subsequent pages, please find a description of the project, a map showing the
project site, and the name of our project point of contact.
Project Description
The 26.5-acre project site consists of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 014-250-090, 014-250-
080, 014-250-050, 014-241-030, 014-241-040, 014-232-030, and 014-232-050, and is occupied
by a variety of office, industrial, warehouse, and storage facilities. The project is located on the
City’s southern boundary with San Bruno, at the intersection of South Maple Avenue and Tanforan
Avenue, approximately 0.1 mile from the San Bruno BART Station (see Figure 1, Project
Location). Surrounding land uses include predominantly single-family residences to the south of
the project site, the San Bruno BART Station, and the Shops at Tanforan located west of the
project site, all of which are located in the City of San Bruno. Commercial, industrial, and
Page 2 of 4 Subject: Formal Notification of Project Consideration and Notification of Consultation Opportunity Pursuant to Public Resources Code §21080.3.1 (Assembly Bill 52) and Government Code §65352.3 (Senate Bill 18) for the Southline Specific Plan
400 GRAND AVENUE P.O. BOX 711 SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94083
warehouse facilities are located to the north and east of the project site within the City of South
San Francisco. The Centennial Way Trail, a multi-use path, runs generally parallel to Maple
Avenue to the west of the project site.
The proposed project includes a new office/research and development (R&D) campus with a
maximum anticipated building area of up to 2.8 million square feet. The proposed project would
demolish all existing on-site uses and construct commercial buildings, a four-story supportive
amenities building totaling approximately 88,200 square feet, approximately 3,075 underground
parking spaces at various locations throughout the project site, a 9-story parking structure with
approximately 2,500 spaces, a new east-west connection road and intersection (Southline
Avenue), supportive utilities and related infrastructure, and approximately 369,000 square feet of
open space. Commercial building heights would range from four to seven stories subject to a
maximum height of 120 feet. Development associated with the proposed project would be
implemented under the proposed Specific Plan, which would establish new land use development
standards and design guidelines for the project site. A phased development process for buildout
of the Specific Plan is anticipated. Phase 1 would include construction of the new Southline
Avenue east-west connection road described above and the following development south of the
new road: three buildings totaling approximately 613,800 square feet of office space; the four-
story supportive amenity building totaling approximately 88,200 square feet; approximately 2,800
parking spaces in a combination of below-grade parking and the eastern portion of the 9-story
parking structure located north of the new road; and landscaping and open space amenities.
Off-site improvements associated with the proposed project include the following, located within
South San Francisco: reconfiguration of the South Linden Avenue and Dollar Avenue intersection;
reconfiguration of the existing at-grade rail crossing at South Linden Avenue; roadway widening
of South Maple Avenue; and signalization of intersections at Southline Avenue and the main
Southline campus entry point, and Dollar Avenue and Southline Avenue. Off-site improvements
located within San Bruno would include: a new intersection reconfiguring Huntington Avenue and
connecting it with the new Southline Avenue, and signalization of the intersection at Sneath Lane
and Huntington Avenue. Additional off-site improvements within South San Francisco and San
Bruno would include removal, installation, or relocation of aboveground and/or underground
utilities, sidewalks, curbs, and streetscape improvements.
The project would require grading or disturbing an area of approximately 1.4 million square feet
during construction. It is anticipated that approximately 845,000 cubic yards of soil would be
excavated, to a maximum depth of 35 feet below ground surface.
The City would like to provide you with an opportunity to communicate concerns you might have
regarding places within the project area that may be important to your community. The City
requests your participation in the identification and protection of cultural resources, sacred lands
or other heritage sites within the above described project area with the understanding that you or
other members of the community might possess specialized knowledge of the area. A records

RE: Formal Notification of Project Consideration and Notification of Consultation
Opportunity Pursuant to Public Resources Code §21080.3.1 (Assembly Bill 52) and
Government Code §65352.3 (Senate Bill 18) for the Southline Specific Plan
Dear Ms. Savers,
The City of South San Francisco (City) has received a complete project application for the
Southline Specific Plan (project) and has begun environmental analysis of the project pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This letter has been sent upon the
recommendation of the Native American Heritage Commission to tribes that are culturally and
traditionally affiliated with the area. This letter serves as formal notification under the AB 52
process for the project, pursuant to Public Resources Code §21080.3.1, and the SB 18 process
for the Specific Plan, pursuant to Government Code §65352.3.
Below and on the subsequent pages, please find a description of the project, a map showing the
project site, and the name of our project point of contact.
Project Description
The 26.5-acre project site consists of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 014-250-090, 014-250-
080, 014-250-050, 014-241-030, 014-241-040, 014-232-030, and 014-232-050, and is occupied
by a variety of office, industrial, warehouse, and storage facilities. The project is located on the
City’s southern boundary with San Bruno, at the intersection of South Maple Avenue and Tanforan
Avenue, approximately 0.1 mile from the San Bruno BART Station (see Figure 1, Project
Location). Surrounding land uses include predominantly single-family residences to the south of
the project site, the San Bruno BART Station, and the Shops at Tanforan located west of the
project site, all of which are located in the City of San Bruno. Commercial, industrial, and
Page 2 of 4 Subject: Formal Notification of Project Consideration and Notification of Consultation Opportunity Pursuant to Public Resources Code §21080.3.1 (Assembly Bill 52) and Government Code §65352.3 (Senate Bill 18) for the Southline Specific Plan
400 GRAND AVENUE P.O. BOX 711 SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94083
warehouse facilities are located to the north and east of the project site within the City of South
San Francisco. The Centennial Way Trail, a multi-use path, runs generally parallel to Maple
Avenue to the west of the project site.
The proposed project includes a new office/research and development (R&D) campus with a
maximum anticipated building area of up to 2.8 million square feet. The proposed project would
demolish all existing on-site uses and construct commercial buildings, a four-story supportive
amenities building totaling approximately 88,200 square feet, approximately 3,075 underground
parking spaces at various locations throughout the project site, a 9-story parking structure with
approximately 2,500 spaces, a new east-west connection road and intersection (Southline
Avenue), supportive utilities and related infrastructure, and approximately 369,000 square feet of
open space. Commercial building heights would range from four to seven stories subject to a
maximum height of 120 feet. Development associated with the proposed project would be
implemented under the proposed Specific Plan, which would establish new land use development
standards and design guidelines for the project site. A phased development process for buildout
of the Specific Plan is anticipated. Phase 1 would include construction of the new Southline
Avenue east-west connection road described above and the following development south of the
new road: three buildings totaling approximately 613,800 square feet of office space; the four-
story supportive amenity building totaling approximately 88,200 square feet; approximately 2,800
parking spaces in a combination of below-grade parking and the eastern portion of the 9-story
parking structure located north of the new road; and landscaping and open space amenities.
Off-site improvements associated with the proposed project include the following, located within
South San Francisco: reconfiguration of the South Linden Avenue and Dollar Avenue intersection;
reconfiguration of the existing at-grade rail crossing at South Linden Avenue; roadway widening
of South Maple Avenue; and signalization of intersections at Southline Avenue and the main
Southline campus entry point, and Dollar Avenue and Southline Avenue. Off-site improvements
located within San Bruno would include: a new intersection reconfiguring Huntington Avenue and
connecting it with the new Southline Avenue, and signalization of the intersection at Sneath Lane
and Huntington Avenue. Additional off-site improvements within South San Francisco and San
Bruno would include removal, installation, or relocation of aboveground and/or underground
utilities, sidewalks, curbs, and streetscape improvements.
The project would require grading or disturbing an area of approximately 1.4 million square feet
during construction. It is anticipated that approximately 845,000 cubic yards of soil would be
excavated, to a maximum depth of 35 feet below ground surface.
The City would like to provide you with an opportunity to communicate concerns you might have
regarding places within the project area that may be important to your community. The City
requests your participation in the identification and protection of cultural resources, sacred lands
or other heritage sites within the above described project area with the understanding that you or
other members of the community might possess specialized knowledge of the area. A records

Hi there,
Is this project located on Bayshore Blvd? near the Old Cow Palace and the old US Postal

And, can you tell me if a Phase I Literature Search and/or a Foot Survey have been under
